For me, the gig was cool for two things. First, (the awesome) Mark Cobb. Tonight he was awesome because he was pushing and pulling on the beat in a couple of tunes, and I thought it was cool because he was doing it on purpose!, massaging the time ever so slightly back and forth but never losing control. So impressive. Mark Cobb is awesome.
I also really dug standing next to Fred McNeal, who really played the hell out of his guitars tonight. He was so cool and so authentically rock and roll. No crap from him--he knows the music so well, and his performance was right on target. I started paying attention to him more last night at the rehearsal, and he really impressed me tonight.
Yacht Rock is in Charlotte, NC tomorrow night for a gig. Hope to see you there.
